Kosher salt

1
clove garlic

1
c.
long-grain white rice

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Add the rice and stir to coat. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes.

Fluff with a fork.
